A thrift shopper was excited to share their latest find after stumbling upon a high-end kitchenware set for a second time.
This time around, the lucky shopper found not one, not two, but a set of four Le Creuset pieces, all for just $45.
All of those pieces together retail for hundreds of dollars. The signature grill skillet alone costs $225, while the cassadou retails from anywhere between $280-$350.
Redditors were impressed with the find and discussed the benefits of thrifting.
"I count 6 [pieces]," responded one user. "Do not discount the value of the matching lids!"
"The green lid alone would fetch at least $20-$30," added another user.
"That little yellow bean pot is adorable!" wrote one Redditor.
Thrift shopping is a great way to purchase valuable items at a discounted rate. Across the U.S., shoppers have found expensive kitchenware, vintage furniture, and designer clothes for just a fraction of the retail price.
By swapping out just half of your yearly purchases with secondhand items, you can save almost $100. But thrift shopping isn't just beneficial for your wallet; it's also good for the environment.
